Ambiguity of son chien

Rex reminds Anna of her dog & Rex reminds Anna of his dog

Both appear to translate as Rex rappelle son chien à Anna

What is the best way to avoid this ambiguity?

This question relates to:French lesson "Rappeler [à quelqu'un] = to remind [someone] in French"

Context - in both writing and speech. If it was ambiguous in the setting, the alternative is to use other possessive structures eg "Rex rappelle le chien de Paul/Marie à Anna", or perhaps it is "Rex rappelle son propre chien à Anna"
